“Once again we've shown that these companies ignored the scientific evidence and continued to deny their responsibilities to the women of America,” Ted Meadows, a lawyer for the suitor said in a statement.

"A court in St. Louis, Missouri has ordered the US pharmaceutical company Johnson & Johnson (J&J) to pay over $110.5 million to a Virginia woman, who claims she developed ovarian cancer after decades of using its talcum powder.

The verdict is the largest for J&J among nearly 2,400 current lawsuits accusing the company of insufficient warning to consumers about cancer risks connected to products containing talc.

Most of those suits have been filed in St. Louis. The company has already faced four previous trials, three of which resulted in $197 million verdicts against J&J and its talc supplier."

The uncomfortable fact is that multinational corporations have little to no humanity and they continue to prove it. Johnson & Johnson is not unique in its crimes and abuse. Other corporations have bodies buried that will also soon be discovered. The real question is why people continue to trust the serial criminals whose tentacles reach into our communities, our houses and our families.

Johnson & Johnson agreed to pay up to $2.2 billion to settle a decade-long investigation into illegal promotion of Risperdal between 1999 and 2005. The Food and Drug Administration had prohibited Johnson & Johnson salespeople from trying to promote Risperdal to doctors to treat children because of its feared side effects, including hormonal disorders. The company was also not allowed to promote it to treat the elderly except for the most serious psychotic disorders; it was thought to cause strokes, diabetes and other ailments in that population. However, the lawsuit revealed documents proving Johnson & Johnson had encouraged doctors to prescribe the drug without warning of its risks. In fact, Johnson & Johnson emails, sales training manuals and business plans produced as evidence in the case revealed that the company organized special sales units illegally targeting doctors who treated the elderly and children. State mental institutions treating children, whose drugs would be paid for by Medicaid, were targeted, too.

Did Johnson & Johnson learn from their mistakes? It has been refreshing to see the mainstream media report on a new story showing the high criminality and purposeful abuse of this corporation. For the third time in exactly one year, a St. Louis jury has ordered Johnson & Johnson to pay a huge award over claims that its talcum powder causes cancer. The first settlement in the sum of $72 million went to an Alabama native who has since passed away from ovarian cancer thought to be caused by Johnson & Johnson's known cancer-causing talcum powder. In the second settlement, the jury ordered the company to pay $55 million to a South Dakota woman, another one of the 2400 women currently in lawsuits claiming their cancer was a result of years of talcum powder use. Researchers began linking talcum powder to ovarian cancer in the 1970s, and that internal Johnson & Johnson documents show the company was aware of those studies. Johnson & Johnson has paid out $237.5 million in cancer lawsuits over their carcinogenic babypowder this year alone.

Jim Onder, attorney for the plaintiff in last year's $55 million St. Louis settlement case stated:

"The evidence is real clear that Johnson & Johnson has known about the dangers associated with talcum powder for over 30 years," Onder said. "Instead of giving a warning, what they did was targeted the groups most at risk for developing ovarian cancer," specifically marketing to overweight women, blacks and Hispanics."

How long will people continue to support gleefully abusive corporations by using their products? Below is a homemade recipe to make your own talcum powder minus the cancer risk and abusive predatory corporate marketing.
